Ways in which you can kindly support us

We are very grateful for the support both financially and in time we receive from individuals and organisations who understand the work we do as an alternative education provider. We value and rely on this support for our day to day costs. Our income consists of contracts with the local authority and schools, grants from charitable foundations, business companies and donations from the public. We also organise fundraising events, such as stalls in local markets and raffles.

Sponsored Events

Set yourself a challenge and get your friends involved. However, big or small the challenge, whether sporty or crafty, whether in a group or on your own, sponsored events are a great way to raise money for us whilst achieving some of your personal goals.

At the Bridge we have done a 5 km and 10 km run and mud runs before now as a great way to get involved at the Bridge and raise funds.

Get in touch with us if you are considering doing or setting up a sponsored event and we can help you promote it and offer support.
